Hockey Convert 55 Report post Posted June 30, 2011 So did Holland say anything about McGrattan? I would actually crap my pants. I don't care, I have a washing machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Heaten Report post Posted June 30, 2011 So did Holland say anything about McGrattan? Holland did not say any names. He was very discreet about everything. He was clam talking about the future of the DRWs, but was a compete chatter bug talking about the past. They ask him how Detroit was successful for so long; making the playoffs for 20 years straight is a huge feat. He said Lidstrom was the answer, then went on for about how good the scouting staff is.. etc, etc.. He did mention that he wasn't going to sign Draper or Osgood until he sees if there are any options at FA frenzy. He said if nothing peaks his interest, he'll just re-sign Draper and/or Osgood.

Booster313 138 Report post Posted June 30, 2011 Well I'm mistaken then, I don't remember thinking much about Hossa going into the off-season. Can we agree it was a surprising move? I need to go back into the archives and check out who we all thought realistically was coming and then the reactions when Hossa signed I actually posted something about him coming here in early June right after the finals, search my posts. I had inside info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the 1yr contract idea, yes, but not for potentially playing. He had offered a low salary multi-year contract previously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
